In general, quantum mind theories do not treat consciousness as an electromagnetic phenomenon, with a few exceptions. [5] [6] AR Liboff has proposed that "incorporating EM field-mediated communication into models of brain function has the potential to reframe discussions surrounding consciousness". [7]
GWT analogizes the mind to a theater, with conscious thought being like material illuminated on the main stage. The brain contains many specialized processes or modules that operate in parallel, much of which is unconscious. Attention acts as a spotlight, bringing some of this unconscious activity into conscious awareness on the global workspace.
The superconscious (also super-conscious or super conscious) is a proposed aspect of mind to accompany the conscious and subconscious and/or unconscious.According to its proponents, the superconscious is able to acquire knowledge through non-physical or psychic mechanisms and pass that knowledge to the conscious mind.

In psychoanalysis and other psychological theories, the unconscious mind (or the unconscious) is the part of the psyche that is not available to introspection. [1] Although these processes exist beneath the surface of conscious awareness, they are thought to exert an effect on conscious thought processes and behavior. [2]
Reporting of conscious experience seems in some studies to occur serially following unconscious processing rather than in parallel with it. [5]: 368 Unconscious processing is quite powerful on its own, so it is not obvious that task performance requires consciousness. Higher-order views agree with this, unlike, e.g., global-workspace views.
In psychology, the subconscious is the part of the mind that is not currently of focal awareness. The term was already popularized in the early 20th century in areas ranging from psychology, religion and spirituality. [1] The concept was heavily popularized by Joseph Murphy's 1963 self-help book The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. [2]
Unconscious cognition is the processing of perception, memory, learning, thought, and language without being aware of it. [1]The role of the unconscious mind on decision making is a topic greatly debated by neuroscientists, linguists, philosophers, and psychologists around the world.
